About half of vocational education institutions in the country are worried that the use of artificial intelligence (AI) may suppress creativity and critical thinking skills among students who would use the technology for their schoolwork. ADVERTISEMENTThe results of the survey, which covered 115 schools, were released on Wednesday. More than half, or 56 percent, of the surveyed schools crafted “light guidelines,” while 35 percent enforced “stricter” regulations. Between the schools’ administrative personnel and the teachers, the former are “more likely” to be more receptive to AI tools (34 percent) than the latter (30 percent). Vice President and Education Secretary Sara Duterte had earlier cited the “uncertainties” of AI use in digital education, despite the technology’s potential and increasing popularity.
